A Destructive Cyclone.

LITTLE Rock, Dec. ia special from
Cove, Polk county says destructive cy-
clone visited the Indian Territory near
Fort Washits and Green on Saturday
morning, causing great destruction to
property and loss Of life. The following
are the casualties as far as known: French
Adams, United States army, Washita,
killed; A. B. Lincoln, Washita, killed;

Keson, Green, killed; two children,
names unknown, killed; William Cow
ington, Armstrong academy, had his
left leg broken; Henry Wait, Washita,
arm and leg broken; Mrs. Wait, Washita,
arm broken. A terrific rumbling sound
was heard about O'Clock. 1t startled a
few people from their sleep only to
awake them to the horror of impending
death. A heavy black cloud, funnel
shaped, was seen in the distance aud
rapidly approached. When about q
mile north OF Fort Washita, it struck the
ground, and from this point south for
miles, the work of ruin was com plete. -
The cyclone travelled at the ra te of a
mile minute. In an instant from the
time struck the earth half the houses in
Fort Washite, were in ruins. The light
houses and dwellings we're picked up and
made into kindling wood by the fury of
the wind. Armstrong ACADEMY was
not greatly injured but churches In the
immediate neighborhood suffered great
ly. At Green, little hamlet six
miles south OF Armstrong, the damage
was very heavy, and many persons
were injured. Seventeen houses and a
general store were carried away bodily
while horses and cattle within the
territory covered by the storm king were
killed or injured. The damage at this
time cOnnot Of course be estimated
as the full extent Is not known. Two
children killed at Green were carried
about GO yards by the wind and dashed
to the ground, mangled so as to be
almost unacceptable. Many cattle and
other stock were also killed by light
ming. The storm only lasted about six
minutes at any one point.

The KiIrain-SmIth Prize Fight.

LONDON, 2:30 p. 10, Dec. 10. The prize
fight between Kilrsin and Smith is sup
posed to be progressing at this hour In
the vicinity of Rouen. 1t Is learned this
afternoon that the fight between Kill
rain and Smith was fixed to take place
at one O'Clock this afternoon on an island
In the river Seine, twenty miles from
Rouen. Many patrons OF the turf have
left England for France during the last
few days by different routes, On
Friday, Kilrain with his trainer and a
few friends crossed the channel by a
Dover boat. Kilrain was not recognized
at any part of the journey probably
owing to the change in his APP
pesrance which shaving of OF his
heavy mOustache created. Smith with
bis principal support and Jim Howard
his trainer crossed on Thursday. The
sea on that day was exceedingly rough,
and Smith suffered severely from sea-
sickness. He was obliged to spend the
night In Calais, and did not reach
ROuen until Friday. He stopped at the
Hotel Dalbin, in ROuen, while Kilrain
had quarters a. hoseilry, only 30 yards

Workingmen, Beware /!

Union No. 56, Brotherhood Of Carpen-
tiers and Joiners of Los Angeles, Cal,
have sent out printed circulars to their
brother mechanics all over the country
warning them to think twice before en-
barking for the Golden State. 10 the
circular they say:
"Of the numerous methods adopted to boom
the Pacific Coast, there are none so injurious
to the wOrklngmen as the exaggerated reports
of a scarcity of labor and high wages.
Unfortunately the poor dupe who sacrifices
his earthly possessions to enable him to reach
these shores in quest of STEADY work" and
high wages" looks in vain for a fulhlment
of these golden promises. Just now
Southern California is being extensively ad-
vertised as the promised land of the Door,
ill-paid, slave of labor. In nearly ali the para
graphs going the rounds of the press there is
such misrepresentation of facts, such bare
faced falsehOOds in regard to wages and the
demands for labor, that we have taken upon
ourselves to refute them, and thus save hum
dreds of families from ruin.
Already a stream of mechanics and labOrers
have poured into the city whose ranks are
daily being swelled by fresh accessions. Hav-
ing expended their last dollar for railroad
fare, they rush around from one job TO an
other, offering to work for anything they can
get The scenic grandeur fails to impress
them, and they find our GLORIOUS climate"
rather thin dietto Subsist on. We, therefore,
this hegira, aud we earnestly entreat them TO
publish this warning.
Periodically, however, and more often this
time of the year. the market has been over
crowded, and only a small number have Sc
cured the great boon of all workingmen "a
home free and unencumbered." The
greater number live from hand
to mouth. Rents are enormously high;
cottage of four rooms rents from $500 to
$50 600 month. Coal is $1,000 u.
butter, 40 cents, eggs 40 cents, and other
things in proportion. The average of wages
is about 80 cents per day more than eastern
wages, butthe cost of living more than coun-
terbalances. Out of door labor can be pur-
sued for about ten months in the year; but
the man who attempts it is sure to break
down. Tropical climates will not permit an
unceasing round of hard manuel labor There
is a gradual and stealtny undermining process
which the victim heeds generally after 1t is
too late TO repair the evil. The FL Do ado of
him who has but his two brawny arms to exc
out an existence, Is not here. We, your fell
low workmen, know whereof we speak, there
fore, heed our warning. Stay away! Don't
come here!
